Celebrate National Poetry Month with poets Ben Moeller-Gaa and Jennifer Lynn at a free online workshop from 10 a.m. to noon, April 4.
Join these award-winning poets for a glimpse into the structures of their respective poetics. Then peek with their souls beyond the forms themselves, to the liminal space where passion creates, poetry is born, and freedom reigns.
